The Allegations
The charge stems from an incident in May 2025. According to court documents:
The Charge: Mr. Nai is alleged to have intentionally sexually penetrated a woman without a condom.
Consent Issue: The prosecution alleges that the circumstances were such that he did not reasonably believe the woman consented to the act without the use of a condom.
Legal Context: This type of allegation often relates to "stealthing"—the non-consensual removal of a condom or the refusal to use one despite a prior agreement—which is recognized as a form of sexual assault under various Australian legal jurisdictions.
